Bubba Watson mentality on not having a swing instructor.

I heard these comments from a video interview at Doral Cadillac Championship on March 3, 2015.

Bubba said the following about not having a swing instructor.  I really liked his thoughts because I think it speaks well to why I should simply focus on hitting the ball at the target and not about mechanics.

-said that when his mind is in the right place there is no shot that he can't hit and no course he can't beat.  It makes sense.  If you are thinking right then you will hitnrhe shots that you are capable of and score extremely well and golf becomes easy.  You don't need mechanical thoughts and feelings to distract you from that.  Simply focus on hitting the shots.  And at the level they are at, and also the level I am at, there are no shots that can't be hit.

Focus on practising well.  Practising on hitting those shots and thinking well in the process.

Bubba said that a lot of pros go to swing coaches for tune ups and to simply be told for confidence sake that what they are doing is good.  Bubs said he doesn't need that.  He knows how to hit shots so he just focuses on improving the way he thinks and getting his mind in the right frame of mind.
